Re: Font advice needed



Rory,

Here is the link to help you:

http://www.macdisk.com/fontsen.php3

The tool is called TT Converter and let's you convert a mac resource file to
a true type file that can be used in Linux.

I added a line to my XFree86 config so my apps to find the mac fonts I added
in a sub-dir in my ~ dir. It's easier to re-install this way without doing
the conversion again.
